The upregulated of SERPINH1 was associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer, stomach adenocarcinoma, and esophageal carcinoma. However, the role of SERPINH1 in pan-cancer is largely unexplored.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> SERPINH1 expression and the correlation with prognosis in human pan-cancer were analyzed by the Cancer Genome Atlas and the Genotype-Tissue Expression dataset. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to evaluate the role of SERPINH1 expression in tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), mismatch repair (MMR), DNA methyltransferase, and common immunoregulators. Spearman\u2019s correlation test was used to analysis SERPINH1 expression in tumor immune infiltration and infiltrating immune cells via the Tumor Immune Evaluation Resource database. Furtherly, immunohistochemistry staining of SERPINH1 was acquired from the Human Protein Atlas database for validation.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> SERPINH1 was abnormally expressed in fourteen cancers. The high expression of SERPINH1 significantly reduced the overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival, and progression free interval in eleven cancers. Moreover, SERPINH1 expression was correlated with MMR, MSI, TMB, and DNA methylation in multiple types of cancer. Also, SERPINH1 expression showed strong association with immunoregulators and immune checkpoint markers in testicular germ cell tumors, brain lower grade glioma (LGG), pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. In addition, SERPINH1 expression was related to immune cell infiltration in multiple cancers, particularly in breast invasive carcinoma, LGG, and liver hepatocellular carcinoma. The result of immunohistochemistry verification shown that SERPINH1 staining was higher in tumor samples than in normal tissue in colon adenocarcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma and cervical squamous cell carcinoma, which was consistent with the result of OS.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Overall, these results indicate that SERPINH1 may serve as an important prognostic biomarker and correlate with tumor immunity in human pan-cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2021.756094","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,4]],"date-time":"2022-01-04T06:25:44Z","timestamp":1641277544000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["SERPINH1 is a Potential Prognostic Biomarker and Correlated With Immune Infiltration: A Pan-Cancer Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weigang","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weiwei","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2354","DOI":"10.1158\/1078-0432.CCR-19-3663","article-title":"Baseline Plasma Tumor Mutation Burden Predicts Response to Pembrolizumab-Based Therapy in Patients with Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer","volume":"26","author":"Aggarwal","year":"2020","journal-title":"Clin.
